Nation and World

In the Maasai language, “nasaruni” is the word that means “haven” in English. Thanks to an international faculty opportunity, two committed educators and a host of engaged JMU students, young girls in Kenya are experiencing the reality of an educational safe place.

JMU’s Be the Change blog features a two-part series about the Nasaruni Academy for Maasai Girls. Read “The gift that Nasaruni brings” and “Sayo’s hope for better lives” at https://jmubethechange.wordpress.com/2015/08/31/the-gift-that-nasaruni-brings/.
